Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's nice and hot for baking the pizza.
In a blender, combine the drained cannellini beans, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, chili flakes, and optional nutritional yeast. Blend until the beans form a creamy sauce consistency, adding a touch of water if needed for smoother blending. This white bean sauce will add a delicious and creamy base to your pizza.
In a mixing bowl, toss the drained chickpeas with olive oil and sriracha sauce until the chickpeas are coated in the flavorful sauce. This will give the chickpeas a spicy kick.
Roll out your pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to create a flat and even surface for your pizza.
Spread a generous layer of vegan BBQ sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about ½ inch of the edges uncovered. This tangy sauce will infuse the pizza with rich flavor.
Spoon the white bean sauce onto the pizza, spreading it evenly over the BBQ sauce. This creamy sauce will add depth of flavor and a velvety texture to the pizza.
Arrange the spicy chickpeas and sliced red onions on top of the sauces. The chickpeas will provide a meaty texture and added protein, while the red onions contribute a delicious crunch and slight sweetness.
Sprinkle a generous amount of vegan mozzarella cheese over the toppings. This will melt beautifully and add a cheesy, gooey element to the pizza.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cooked to your liking. Keep an eye on the pizza as cooking times may vary.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into slices. This will ensure the toppings stay intact and make it easier to handle.
